At startup, the system performs a basic system check and runs an initial loading sequence. After a few moments, the system loads a live display view.

5.6  Step 6: Upgrade Firmware to Latest Version (if available)

If a firmware upgrade is available, you will be asked to install it once the system starts up. It is required to upgrade your system firmware and client software or mobile apps to the latest version to enable remote connection to the system.

5.7  Step 7: Creating a New, Secure Password

If you received a firmware update upon system startup, you will have already been prompted to create a new, secure password for the system. If not, follow the steps below.

5.8  Step 8: Verify Camera Image

  • Power on the cameras, and then verify the camera video quality before mounting the cameras to a permanent location.
  • Mount the cameras under a sheltered location. Always verify the outdoor rating of your camera before installing it in a permanent location.

5.9  Step 9: Set the Time

  • Set the system time and date for accurate video time stamps. Videos with inaccurate times may not be valid as surveillance evidence.
  • For details on setting the system time, see 9 Setting The Time .

5.10  Default System Password & Port Numbers

The system requires a user name and password to log in to the system remotely using a computer. After logging on remotely the first time through FLIR Cloud™, you will be asked to create a custom password for the system.
    Local system and remote connectivity (LAN & Internet) user name and password:
  • Username: admin
  • Password: 000000

5.12  Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)

For flexibility, you may also connect IP cameras to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the cameras to the same router as the NVR.
For these installations, an external PoE switch (sold separately) or power adapter (sold separately) must be used to provide power to each IP camera. You also must add the cameras on the NVR before they will show a picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.
Follow the steps below to connect the cameras to the NVR over the LAN.
